"Most Americans get health insurance through their employer because the government needed workers to support the war effort during WW II. During WW II, the US government implemented a wage freeze to prevent competition for workers to support the war effort.

Employers took advantage of a loophole and began offering health insurance to recruit workers, leading to our current employer-based health insurance system."

Do young people still wear blue jeans?  In the 90s all the girls I hung out with wore jeans.  Now the college aged women I see are in leisure wear (yoga pants or whatever) or sweat pants.

Believe it or not, JNCO jeans (or the off brand equivalent) are back again.

My son (almost 17) hates jeans. He wears mostly track pants or sweat pants when its cold, but like me he wears shorts as much as possible.
